Stop the Travel Tax

During last year's election campaign the National Party promised not to introduce new taxes. But in Budget 2015 the Government introduced a new levy on New Zealanders' most favoured luxury and the treasured 'OE'.

The Government has said that the new Travel Tax will be $16 for incoming and $6 for all departing passengers - that's the equivalent to $88 for a family of four to visit the Gold Coast. Worst of all, there'll be no reduction of any other taxes to compensate for the revenue gathering.

Sign the petition:

John Key should stick to his election promise of 'no new taxes' and ditch the new Travel Tax.
